The word “divorce” seemed to explode in Ning Shuqian’s head like a bomb, causing her immense pain that penetrated through her eardrums, leaving behind a strong impact and giving her a concussion. Again and again and again, explosion after explosion.
Ning Shuqian’s eyes widened in shock and horror filled in her eyes as if she was in complete disbelief. At last, terror was written all over her face.
Divorce seemed to be the last straw for Ning Shuqian.
She was at a complete loss for words.
Wen Xinya smiled slowly but coldly in an unfeeling manner. A divorce was inevitable, for the Wen Family would definitely not tolerate her for deceiving them.
Ning Shuqian’s greed was what caused her to go back to square one.
Once she divorced Wen Haowen, she would no longer enjoy the clout of being a wealthy man’s wife. She would no longer live a life of luxury. Wen Xinya was looking forward to seeing what Ning Shuqian would become.
The person hidden behind Ning Shuqian could no longer use her to harm Wen Xinya.
The word “Divorce” continued to ring in her ears and she glowered at Old Mrs. Wen, seemingly having been possessed. She sprung up from the ground all of a sudden and leaped towards Old Mrs. Wen.
Old Mrs. Wen got a great shock and glared at Ning Shuqian. She stood rooted to the ground, unable to move.
Everyone else was greatly taken aback as well.
“Mother!” Wen Haowen shrieked, dashing forward to push Ning Shuqian onto the ground while shielding Old Mrs. Wen.
Ning Shuqian had sprained her back and her ankle which was incredibly swollen. She had to struggle to get up. Unable to withstand the impact of Wen Haowen’s push, she instantly fell onto the ground.
“Ah…” Ning Shuqian winced in pain and agony, her shrilling voice filling the air in the room.
The immense pain exploded within her, making her feel as if her soul had been sucked out of her. She could no longer move and was paralyzed by the pain.
“Enough, Ning Shuqian. Stop your nonsense!” Wen Haowen hollered in exasperation, fuming with anger.
He was in utter disbelief and shock after hearing Du Ruo’s and Du Shinan’s diagnoses. However, what happened next told him that Ning Shuqian had indeed faked her pregnancy, thus making it impossible for him to deceive himself.
He felt that he should have lost his rationality long ago. However, he did not and instead watched coldly as Ning Shuqian knelt on the ground and pleaded Old Mr. Wen for mercy before being beaten into a pulp by Old Mrs. Wen.
He felt utterly detesting of Ning Shuqian for deceiving him and playing him out and plotting against him, causing him to wait for the arrival of his son like a fool.
Ning Shuqian could not be bothered by the pain at all. She looked up at Wen Haowen to see that there was a cold and menacing look in his eyes, giving her the chills. She crawled towards Wen Haowen and pleaded while sobbing. “Haowen… Haowen… I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you. Forgive me…”
Wen Haowen kicked Ning Shuqian’s chest mercilessly and said, “Get lost. Ning Shuqian… you vicious bitch. I must have been blind to have fallen for you and married you back then. You shameless bitch. You don’t deserve me at all, you don’t deserve…”
He stared at Ning Shuqian who was lying beside his feet. Her skin was wrinkled and saggy, making her look extremely old and haggard. Her large eyes had become saggy and her wrinkles were all over her once beautiful face. She was no longer as charming or youthful as she used to be. She would only embarrass him and bring him shame.
Back then! How did I become so obsessed with such a detestable woman?
Ning Shuqian was overwhelmed with unbearable pain after being kicked by Wen Haowen. She crawled up again and hugged his leg. “Haowen, I’m sorry… I’m sorry, please forgive me…”
She had never expected that Wen Haowen would one day treat her so mercilessly, making her feel extremely terrified. Wen Haowen was the only hope that she had left, and if he didn’t forgive her, she would be chased out of the Wen Family.
She could not help but recall the times where Wen Haowen had subjected Wen Xinya to the same cold and cruel treatment. How did Wen Xinya feel back then? This must be my karma for gloating!
She finally knew how terrible it felt.
Wen Haowen kicked her again and rebuked. “Ning Shuqian, you’ve been married to me for eighteen years and yet, you’ve never once given birth to my child. Now that you’ve done such an intolerable and outrageous thing, you don’t deserve to be my wife at all. I want a divorce. I’m going to divorce you.”
Wen Haowen flew into an uncontrollable rage, venting all his pent up anger.
Ning Shuqian froze like a corpse while her heart dropped and shattered like there was a landslide within her. It seemed that lightning had just flashed past her eyes.
Wen Haowen is divorcing her!
He wants a divorce!
His words rang in her ears incessantly and she could not recover from the shock at all.
The bulging veins on Wen Haowen’s forehead throbbed vigorously and he said, “I’m telling you, I’m not giving you a single cent when we get a divorce. I’m going to make you end up with nothing.”
“Haowen, you can’t do this to me…” Ning Shuqian shrieked with agony, her sharp and shrilling voice breaking the ambiance of the room.
Wen Haowen glared at her angrily and said, “You were the one who started this, I’m just paying you back in your own coin. I’m not one to be played and deceived.”
Ning Shuqian began bawling loudly in misery and screeched. “Haowen, I love you! I know you love me too. You said in the past that you’d treat me well and stay true to me. You said that you wouldn’t let me down… Haowen… you even said that you would never blame me and forgive me for my mistakes…”
Overwhelmed with anguish and sadness, Ning Shuqian continued to weep and bring up their past and promises that they had made to each other, as well as the vows that they exchanged. She constantly talked about the happy memories that they shared, in a bid to make Wen Haowen relent.
Her pitiful voice was tear-jerking!
